Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Clifford Chance (CC) are among a number of firms advising on Swedish private equity group EQT’s €1.8bn (£1.5m) purchase of Germany’s BSN medical, reports The Am Law Daily.

EQT secured the deal after reaching an agreement with company management and Montagu Private Equity, which acquired the medical device company for roughly €880m (£700m) in 2005.
